The Gift of Rhyme
At Bespoke Verse our mission is to help you find just the right words for those important occasions.
And, because we are professional poets, we promise you won't find our clever verses and phrases anywhere else!
We combine our witty words with the work of talented graphic designers. These are printed onto the best quality materials we can find - from bone china mugs, to 100% cotton tea towels.
Joanna Miller is a mum of 3 with an English degree from Oxford University. She set up the business at her kitchen table after giving her own wedding speech in rhyme. Our studio is now based in Berkhamsted, Herts.
Part of our range includes personalised rhyming speeches and wedding readings written from scratch. Joanna's rhyming pitch on BBC2's Dragon's Den was described as 'brilliant' by Deborah Meaden.
Bespoke Verse has featured on television, radio, wedding blogs and in magazines such as Woman & Home, Easy Living, Good Housekeeping and OK!
In 2017, our 'What is a Teacher?' Poem was made into a short film by the BBC for the programme 'Britain's Classroom Heroes'.
Joanna is an ambassador for notonthehighstreet.com.
